It looks like the former Two and a Half Men will be making his TV return soon, Lionsgate Television has reportedly committed to produce ten episodes of his new series.

Charlie Sheen looks set to make his TV comeback.

According to reports, Sheen has signed a new deal with Lionsgate Television to star in a new sitcom.

His role will be similar (read: exactly the same) to his character on Two and a Half Men, only raunchier.

"Networks and cable are bidding on the show right now, with TBS being the front runner," an insider said.

"[Lionsgate Television] has committed to ten episodes up front with the option to pick-up and produce 90 more episodes if the ratings prove to be successful. This means the sitcom could be on TV for 8 years, which is a long time!"

While he won't be getting anywhere near his monstrous US$2 million-per-episode Two and a Half Men rate, if the show's a hit, Sheen will make more money than ever before.
